Not sure what's going on - my AOL / Verizon account stopped working - cannot get Thunderbird to configure properly. I've tried setting up a new IMAP account and then back to POP. Did something change with AOL? On my Android using AquaMail I started getting a new error - OAuth2 POP - I get SYS/TEMP server error. (Sending of password did not succeed) I've checked and rechecked the Verizon - AOL settings. Please help. thanks
